What are either the remains of a fort or a fortified settlement are situated on the W flank of Hangingshaw Hill opposite the hamlet at Heriot Station. Roughly oval on plan, but with a marked angle on the NW, the defences comprise twin ramparts with a medial ditch some 6m in breadth, but these have been heavily ploughed down and the ditch and the outer rampart are visible only on the N and W. The featureless interior measures about 65m from N to S by about 55m transversely (0.28ha) and there is probably an entrance in the S end.
